Topic: VT course sizes (Read 513 times)

I read to do VT's that will have jumps your course size must be 80x100. Is there any flexibility to that? I have a agility field that is more like 65x 140. I assume the requirement is based on placement of jumps/courses designed. When I go to look at the weeks available courses, say a hoopers course, will it show minimum ring size there? Next year I will take over part of my pasture for larger area but would love to get started on this option. Thanks!

I won't address flexibility - but the course maps DO show the ring size. Open the map and look at the numbers on the top (width of the course) and down the side (length of the course).

I understand it now to be actually that the course design is what is 80x100 minimum. Aka you can't design a course with jumps to go on 60x120 or something. So your ring size has to be assumed to be 80x100minimum for those doing course designs. Doesn't mean all the levels will use that whole field (hence, neither do you for VT as long as there is sufficient room - remember edges need buffers often, like if doing a pinwheel on an edge they need curve space), that just has to be base ring size in the design.

The way it is written, in my opinion, actually says that now in re-reading it, but I was confused initially as well!
